Lions waived OT Johnny Culbreath.

Another of the Lions' offseason arrestees falls by the wayside. Last year's seventh-rounder, Culbreath was arrested in January for possession of marijuana. He missed his entire rookie season with a blood pressure issue. Tue, Jul 24, 2012 04:01:00 PM

MLive.com believes Lions OTs Johnny Culbreath, Corey Hilliard and Jason Fox could be competing for just one roster spot.

If that's the case, Hilliard has a huge edge after appearing in all 32 games the past two seasons and making five starts. A seventh-round pick last season, Culbreath missed his entire rookie year with a blood pressure issue before getting arrested for marijuana possession in January. A fourth-round pick in 2010, Fox has appeared in just four career games due to injury. He missed June's minicamp with knee soreness. Culbreath still has practice squad eligibility.

Lions OT Johnny Culbreath was arrested in Orangeburg County, South Carolina on Monday for possession of marijuana.

Culbreath was ratted out by the clerk at the hotel in which he was staying. Police arrived to find a strong marijuana odor and two blunts placed in the drawer of a table in the hallway. Detroit's seventh-round pick last year, Culbreath spent the season on injured reserve with an undisclosed illness. Wed, Jan 25, 2012 11:13:00 AM

The seventh-round pick fell ill at practice on Monday, but the Lions haven't revealed the specifics of what's wrong with him. Culbreath, who measures 6-foot-6, 322 pounds, is capable of running a 4.92 forty, and should be given a legitimate chance to make the team next summer. Sat, Sep 3, 2011 10:52:00 PM

"He’s making really good progress. Beyond that, he’s out of his sling, so he’s working at it," said Caldwell. Decker had a 4-6 month timetable back in early June. He opened camp on the active/PUP list and is a candidate to miss the first six weeks on reserve/PUP. The Lions are hoping Greg Robinson beats out Cyrus Kouandjio for their starting left tackle vacancy.
